removal well. The Larkspurs are the most difficult, 
and the Poppies and Scabious, and the Bartonia 
aurea, it is best to sow where they are to flower. 
Still, there are but few plants but can be removed 
when young. 
induce them to abandon the common practice of 
letting the vines lie on the ground, thereby loosing 
a considerable portion of the fruit by its lying in 
contact with the soil, causing decay and unequal 
ripening, and still another portion by the breaking 
of stems in the persistent eOorts to keep them “the 
other side up’’ to expose the fruit to the influence 
ot sun and air. To those who practice this ripening 
process, I would recommend the following, which 
has been my practice for several years, and which 
to me has been very satisfactory: 
First, make a trellis by nailing five slnts on two by 
four scantling, four and a half feet long, setting the 
same at an angle of about fifty-live degrees in a 
sunny situation facing the south, leaving it three and 
a half feet high. When set, secure in that position 
by stakes driven in the ground back of the trellis, 
and nailed to the. top ot the scantling. Set the 
plants as early as the weather will permit, along the 
trellis two and a half leet, apart, with sufficient space 
between them and the trellis to admit of a wide 
board being set on edge. This serves to keep off 
cold winds, and increases the temperature of the air 
and soil very perceptibly on sunny days, which 
lasts through the night, thereby forwarding the 
plants amazingly. Water as much as the plants 
require until the first fruits set have obtained half 
their size, then water sparingly, as too rapid growth 
is not desirable. Pinch off the* top of the plant one 
joint above the first fruit that sets. This causes the 
side shoots to push vigorously and spread more 
evenly on the trellis. When the vines have attained 
the height of the trellis, permit thorn to grow and 
hang over the top, as it is necessary to have the vine 
growing to bring its fruit to the highest perfection, 
although the leaves may be thinned out over the 
ripening fruit. In this way l have always succeeded 
in filling trellises three and a half feet high by thirty 
feet or more long, so that they would appear from a 
little distance like a perfect mass of fruit, which, in 
ordinary seasons, will nearly all ripen, and on the 
tops hanging over the trellis will be found an 
abundance of green specimens for pickling. Grown 
in this way they arc no mean ornameot to a garden, 
besides the pleasure of picking well ripened fruit free 
from dirt and always finding the vines in a position 
“ which makes the heart of the cultivator rejoice,” 
and heat exposing the fruit to the sun and air. 
One trial with tomatoes grown in this way will, I 
think, convince most people that it pays for the 
extra trouble. H. C. Heath. 
Rochester, N. Y., March, 1362. 
We have long recommended a system of culture 
for the tomato similar to that practiced by Mr. 
Heath. No plant will pay better for good culture 
or bear pruning better than the tomato. It may be 
grown almost as largo, and bo as regularly trained, 
as the grape vine.

Open a up Products. — According to the census of 1860, 
that of mo not being jet published, the aggregate of the 
orchard products of Massachusetts was more than $500,000, 
while that of New York exceeded $2,000,000. That a larger 
part of this is the income of the apple orchards we maj 
infer, when, during the last rather unfavorable year ( 18011 , 
nearly 150,000 barrels of apple* were purchased in Western 
New York, at a cost of $ 150 ,000, including transportation, by 
two extensive fruit deahrs in Boston, and forwarded here. 
The orchard crops of Maine were rallied at $350,000, and it is 
well known that other fruits constitute hut a very small part 
of the largu aggregate of tkat State. Undoubtedly all these 
aggregates were more than doubled hy the census of I860, 
The pear crop and the grape crop ore quite insignificant com¬ 
pared with that of the apple, yet, while these have engnged 
so mneh attention, the apple has been comparatively neglected. 
Throughout the great West, there is a deep interest in 
orchard planting. With a fertile soil, a quick growth, and a 
brisk demand, apple culture forms a prominent and profitable

VEGETATION OF SEEDS 
If fine seeds are planted too deep, they either rot 
in the damp, cold earth, for the want of the. warmth 
necessary to their germination, or after germination 
perish before the tender shoots can reach the sun 
and air, so that that which was designed for their 
support and nourishment proves their grave. 
if the soil is a stiff day, it is often too cold at. the 
time the seeds are planted to effect their germina¬ 
tion, for it must be understood that warmth and 
moisture are necessary to the germination of seeds. 
Neither of these will do alone. Seeds may be kept 
in a warm, dry room, in dry sand or earth, and they 
will not grow*. They may be placed in damp earth, 
and kept in alow temperature, and they will most 
likely rot, though some seeds will remain dormant 
a long time tinder these circumstances. But place 
them in moist earth, in a warm room, and they will 
commence growth at once. Another difficulty with 
heavy or clay soil is, that it becomes bard on the 
surface, and this prevents the young plants from 
“ coming up,” or, if during showery weather they 
happen to get above the surface, they become locked 
in, and make but little advancement unless the cul¬ 
tivator is careful to keep the crust well broken. 
If seeds are sown in rough, lumpy ground, a por¬ 
tion will be buried under the clods and never grow, 
and many that start will not find a fit soil for their 
tender roots, and perish. A few may escape, these 
difficulties, and flourish. 
All of the above cases show good reason for fail¬ 
ure, but there is one cause of failure in which the 
reason is not so apparent. The soil, we will sup¬ 
pose, is well prepared, fine as it can be made, and 
of that loamy or sandy character best fitted for 
small seeds. We will suj^iose, too, that the seeds 
were sown on the surface with a little earth sifted 
over them, and that this was not done until the 
Bcoson was so far advanced as to furnish the warmth 
necessary to secure vegetation. Under these very 
favorable circumstances many seeds will grow, and 
if the weather i3 both warm and showery, very few 
will lail. But. if, as is very common at. the season of 
the year when we plant our seeds, we have a succes¬ 
sion of cold rain storms, many will perish. A 
night’s frost will ruin many more. If, however, the 
weather should prove warm and without showers, 
the surface will become very dry, and the seeds 
haring so slight a covering will be dried up and 
perish as soon os they germinate, and before the 
roots attain sufficient size and strength to go down 
where the soil is more moist. 
HOT-UEDS AND COLD-FRAMES, 
It is to overcome these evils that Hot-Beds are use¬ 
ful. By being protected on the sides and ends with 
boards, and covered with glass, they confine the 
moisture which arises from the earth in mist, and 
thus the atmosphere is kept humid and the surface 
moist, and the- plants are not subjected to tho 
changes of temperature, as a uniform state can be 
maintained, no matter what the weather may be. 
The bottom heat of the hot-bed warms the soil, and 
enables tho grower to put in his seed early, and 
obtain plants of good size before the soil outside is 
warm enough to receive the seed. The principal 
advantages of the Hoi-Bed, however, can be secured 
by what is called a Cold-Frame.

Illinois returns in

local causes which materially abridge the product In the 
exposed and almost treeless plains of the West, our severe 
winters often seriously dnmnge tho trees; and many young 
orchards have been partially destroyed; but these casualties 
ilo not diminish tho lent of the planters, and at thU present 
moment there are numerous young orchards which, ere many 
years, must add greatly to the already large and valuable crop. 
The will is good, the climate favorable, and with careful plant 
ing and judicious trentir^nt, Western orchards must become

We wish we could record the same real among our New 
England cultivators. That there arc many thriving old 
orchards and a goodly number of more recent formation, we 
are ready to admit, but neither are in any comparison to the 
intelligence, the skill of our people, or the favorable climate, 
and the. demand for their products. In the bearing years of 
the Baldwin, our markets are well supplied with the very best 
fruit; but when these fail, the stock runs short, the price goes 
up, and hut for the Western New York orchards, good apples 
would reach a price which few could afford to pay. Indeed,

Marino SKttns Grow.—W hat is the reason so many of our 
seeds do not grow? We have no trouble after we get the 
plants, hut many kinds fail altogether, and of others perhaps 
only a few seeds come up. Now, if you can tell us howto 
sow seeds so Hint they will he sure to come up and make 
plants, you will confer a greet blessing on several of your lady 
readers in this section.—C. P.. Harrison Co., Ohio. 
We cannot give the desired information In a few lines, and 
therefore deal' with this subject at large in another column. 
Fiicit Boxes.—A Mr. Gt chert, of New York, makes a 
fruit box, suitable for strawberries, raspberries. &c., which is 
highly spoken of by some of our fruit growers, though we 
have never seen it. It is described as being made of but two 
pieces; the corners, instead of being joined, are bent, thus 
combining extreme lightness with strength, durability, and 
cheapness. One of these boxes holding a pint weighs but 
two ounces, and, being square, there can be enough to con 
tain a bushel packed in a crate of Bio si/e of fourteen by 
twenty-two inches, and only a foot in depth. 
D. Cbadbayne, of Corfu, Genesee Co., writes us that ho 
has invented u box that he thinks will meet the wants of fruit 
growers, and which he thus describes;—“ The boxes can he 
made of any sue required, from one-third of a quart to one 
quart, ovviug to tiie market for which they are intended. To 
construct them oil the plan which I propose, they will 
he very light, taking from eight to twelve of them for a 
pound, according to size, and of a square form, with sufficient 
Hare from bottom to top to pack deep into each other when 
empty. I think I can make them at a cost of not over three 
cents each, providing there was sufficient demand for them to 
make their manufacture un object. The wood is to he steamed 
and cut out very thin, and openings made to admit air to the 
fruit.’’ 
will Ik* necessary; but if we take a medium average, 
once a week will be a general requirement for three 
or four weeks, Some persons do not earth at all 
until they intend to do it finally; but, excepting for 
the latest crops, or that which is wanted for spring 
use, this practice is open-to much objection. In tho 
first place, the stalks have by this time grown out¬ 
ward to a horizontal position, and become solid, so 
that they will break or split at the bottom, which 
brings on rottenness, and disfigures the form of the 
head. The soil also is more subject to fall down 
into die center with the great depth whichisput on; 
and as the stalks havo hitherto had light and air, 
the leaflets are more numerous and situated closer 
to the base, and consequently they have to be cov¬ 
ered up. These often rot, and always prevent the 
young heart-leaves from ascending straight, the 
result of which is distorted form and crooked stalks. 
With regard to that portion of the crop which is 
required for latter winter and early spring use, an 
exception to this is advisable; for, as stated above, 
if the soil remains too long in contact, the quality is 
injured. Therefore, in this case, do not earth up 
any further than merely to give an upright position 
to the stalks; and when it is to be done, finish at one 
or two operations. The best time to commence 
earthing this late portion, is a little before frosty 
uights begin to occur. 
Protection in W inter.— Although celery is very 
hardy in a natural or poorly grown state, it is soon 
injured by frost when gorged with luxuriance, or 
blanched; therefore, as we have it in cultivation, 
winter protection is necessary. It is also soon rot¬ 
ted or rendered insipid if kept too warm, on which 
account a temperature that is only a few degrees 
above the freezing point is best. Avoid close, damp 
cellars; for in such places it is almost sure to decay. 
Often as this plan has been tried, there have been 
few cases of success. The best method which has 
come under my own observation is as follows:— 
Choose a piece of ground where the water can pass 
off freely, and bed the heads in rows of about six in 
each, and in an upright position. Commence by rais¬ 
ing a bank against which the first row shall rest; lift 
each head, and preserve the roots carefully, which 
inay be done by cutting down one side of the row 
in which it has grown, and afterwards putting the 
spade under each plant. Before lifting, tie a piece 
of bast or twine around the upper part, which will 
prevent the stalks from breaking, and also facilitate 
the process. Remove all decayed leaves, and fix 
carefully against the bank almost close together; 
raise up in front enough soil to cover nearly to the 
top, leaving only a portion of the top leaves exposed. 
The next row may be a few inches asunder, and 80 
on. Afterwards leave all uncovered until wet or 
frost sets in, when a coping of boards or shutters 
should be fixed over. Where there is riot this con¬ 
venience, a quantity of pea-stakes may be laid over 
the top; but whatever be used, a coating of litter, 
pea haulm, or other like material, will be required 
to keep out the frost. It may also he left to winter 
in the ridges; but in this way a great quantity of 
covering is necessary, and which afterwards requires 
much labor to remove. The first is most economi¬ 
cal, and is equally safe. 
The Pansy. — I wish to give you a little of my experience 
with the pansy last season, and obtain some information, t 
procured seed, grew the plants early, in n fi-nme, and was 
soiely disappointed at the result. The (lowers were small and 
insignificant, and had a poor, dried tip look, but. to my sur¬ 
prise iu the, autumn, tlic aiiuiu plants produced flowers of a 
much better character. Indeed, I could hardjjf believe they 
were produced hy Uic same roots. Now. if these plants only 
produce good flower* in tho autumn, would it not be better 
to grow them later in the Season, so os to have them right for 
blooming in September and October? Also, will my plants 
die, or survive the winter #nd (lower next Bummer?— 
A mate PR, 
The pansy likes a cool situation, and the flowers are never 
good when exposed to our hot midsummer sun. The better 
way, therefore, is to grow plants as early as possible, so as to 
get good flowers in the spring, and plant in a cool, moist 
11 lace, as on the north side of a fence or building, or in a 
place somewhat shaded by trees. In such a place, fair blooms 
may be secured nearly the whole summer, but if the plants 
are cut down nearly to the ground in July, in tho fall they will 
flower must profusely. Your plants will doubtless give you a 
fine display early in the spring. 
This is simply a hot-bed frame, with sash, as 
shown in the engraving, placed upon a bed of fine, 
mellow earth, in some sheltered place in thegarder* 
By the exclusion of air, and the admission of sun, 
the earth becomes warm, and the moisture is con¬ 
fined, as in the hot-bed. After the frame is secured 
in its place, a couple of inches of fine earth should 
bo placed Inside, and the frame closed tip for a day 
or two before the Eeeds are planted. As the cold- 
frame depends upon the sun for its warmth, it must 
not be started as soon as the hot-bed, and in this 
latitude the latter part of April is early enough. 
Plants will then be large enough for transplanting 
to the open ground as soon as danger from frost is 
over, and as a general thing they will be hardier, 
and better able to endure the shock of transplant¬ 
ing, than if grown in a hot-bed. A frame of this 
kind any one can manage. Watering occasionally, 
will be necessary, and air mast be given on bright, 
warm days. 
These frames when so small as to be conveniently 
moved by the hand, are called hand-glasses. A 
simple frame or box, with a couple of lights of glass 
on the top, will answer a very good purpose, though 
when small it would be better to have the front of 
glass. A very good hand-glass is made of a square 
frame with a light of glass at each side and on the 
top. These contrivances, though so simple as to he 
made by any one handy with tools, are exceedingly 
useful, as they prevent the drying of the surface of 
the grim ml, and afford the plants shelter from sud¬ 
den changes of temperature, cold storms and frosty 
nights. 
SEES BED. 
When these conveniences are not to he had, make 
a bed of light, mellow soil, in a sheltered situation 
in the garden, and as soon as the weather becomes 
settled and the ground warm, sow the seeds, cover¬ 
ing them with a little fine earth, and if very small, 
sift it upon them. Some one has given as a rule 
that seeds should bo covered twice the depth of 
their own diameter, that is, that a seed one-sixteenth 
of an inch through should be covered oue-eighth of 
an inch. Perhaps this is as near correct as any gen¬ 
eral rule can be. If the weather proves very dry 
after sowing, it is well to cover the beds of small 
seeds with damp moss, or what is better, with ever¬ 
green boughs. 
TRANSPLANTING. 
After the plants in these beds have obtained their 
second leaves and made an inch or two of growth, 
they should be removed to the garden beds or 
border. This should be done on a dull showery 
day, if possible; if not, the plants may require 
shading alter removal until they become established. 
Remove them with the transplanting trowel, and 
disturb the roots as little as possible. If the plants 
are not too thick, Hub is not difficult, and in sowing 
it is well to have this in view, and sow evenly and 
thin. As soon as the young plants come up, if too 
thick, a portion should be removed.
